I'm sorry -- I think the author completely misses the point about why microservices were controversial at all? Distributed systems are not the same as centrali

Distributed systems are not the same as centralized ones, and you cannot paper over the differences between the two. It is wrong to think that distributed microservices will completely replace centralized services in some future paradise. The difference is not a tech fad; it's more like a law of nature. Distributed systems should plan for network failures, yet nobody wants to get a "503" from their CPU.
